Hacker News new | past | comments | ask | show | jobs | submit login

Hi, I am the author of this tutorial and I would like to mention that while working on it I realised that a proper Hacker News reader would be an interesting project to work on and I might decide to go for it if enough people are interested.

Would you use it on your desktop computer (Linux, OS X and/or Windows)?

If yes, which features would you like to see in the first version?




Android version. Notifications for followed subjects and followed users' comments. Offline mode. Links to the url in the Archive, Google cache, etc. Maybe a tag or icon if the url is a video, pdf, etc or favicon from the website. A sidebar with a list of all the urls posted in the comments for easy.


The possibility to configure interesting topics and having the client check in the background if anything relevant pops up.

If it's open source I could try to add the feature myself.
